Read more about the benefits for employee and managers when it comes to time registration in Excel
Since work practices across all industries are already increasingly project-based and with flexible hours (especially at agencies and consultancies), it is more important than ever for both project managers and team members to be good at juggling several projects at once. And for that, just like with actual juggling, timing is of the essence.
Time management is the most crucial aspect of project management, and yet, plenty of companies are still reluctant to implement a time tracking tool into their operations. Why?
Because of misconceptions about time tracking.
Firstly, some managers might think that tracking employee time is akin to micromanaging them.
This is wrong. Time tracking gives employees greater autonomy, as they get more room to control their schedules within the set deadlines.
Secondly, new or smaller businesses sometimes think that their size does not warrant the use of a time tracking tool. Wrong again. No matter the size of a company, even if it consists of a single person, there will always be an overlap of projects, and if the person in charge does not keep an eye on them, the ball is bound to drop.
Third, and perhaps the most persistent reason for resistance to time tracking is the fear that it will be too tedious, complicated, and time-consuming. But just by knowing how many different types of time tracking tools modern technology gifted us with, anyone can see that this cannot be more wrong.
The advantages of using a simple Excel time tracking sheet
For companies that currently do not employ a time tracking system and still have some reservations about it, the best way is to start simple.
Using an Excel timesheet template has some clear advantages.
From the data gathered by time tracking, both managers and employees gain valuable insights into how work time is spent, and consequently, how to improve their overall performance.
